I followed it and it was sucess .... only thing is i did it using root acc. Now when i log in using my normal acc, system basicly freezes, it's very slow ... if i disable compiz it runs normal.Under root acc everything works great, compiz and all the plugins/extras but in regular acc, it freezes.

So now i'm here to ask a help ... is there anything i can do to fix it? I still wanto use compiz ... like i told it works great under root acc ... but not in regular acc

Root account - you used the root account not sudo?A GUI should never be run as rootYou may have permission problems if your action put compisconfig in roots home (/root)And do yourself a favor - don't run compiz as root...You could try to undo what you did as root, but that's perhaps not easyFurthermore I found a serious error in the solution you refer toDid you do a dist-upgrade?Then you no longer have Mint and I recommend a fresh install, including the removal of all hidden folders in your home if you have it on its own partition

Yes, i used a root acc ... well i guess i haveto reinstall mint ... This all reminds me when i started to mess with windows a long time ... basicly the same thing: i didn't know nothing about it and i learned from my own mistakes ...
